How to draw a rounded bitmap?

phped

Hi there,How can I draw a rounded bitmap? Thanks a lot!

You may be able to set a region. Otherwise you can use masking, just like any bitmap which is being drawn transparently with a colour key. I believe TransparentBlt works this way. You'll need W98 or later, and the Platform SDK.

VB has always lacked even that... - Shog9 04-09-2002 Again, you can screw up a C/C++ program just as easily as a VB program. OK, maybe not as easily, but it's certainly doable. - Jamie Nordmeyer - 15-Nov-2002

Use ::CreateRoundRectRgn to create a region with rounded corners. Then call ::SelectClipRgn with your DC that you are going to paint your bitmap onto. The clipping region will prevent your bitmap from painting outside of the rounded rectangle that you create. Shog9 has listed some articles here on CP that will help you. Good Luck
